Administrators James H Posted January 16, 2015 Administrators Posted January 16, 2015 Hi all, I'm asking in here instead of the 'Wants' forum simply because I'm on a mission. Shortly, I'll be building the HK Models 1:32 Mosquito, and I have no decals. I'm intending to use masks for the main markings, but I need to source some stencil decals. Can anybody here offer a solution as to how I can get these? I could contact Revell for a set of theirs, but that feels so wrong since this is for a competitor's kit which will pretty much render their own release obsolete. This one is for Military Illustrated Modeller, and I promise I'll mention you in the article too, as helping me out. Over to you folks....... 1
RalphSarc Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Paul Grivas one of our members has started his own masking company and may be a source. He made Arno and I Canadain and Swiss masks for out Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunters!

happy1 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 James PM me I'm sure I can help. Paul PS thanks Ralph
Administrators James H Posted January 17, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 17, 2015 Hi guys, It is actually the stencils I need, and not the markings, as the main stuff will be made in mask form. You can't mask stencils, but I sure will need them on this build.
rieser Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Hello James. Completely random thought... I wonder how many of the stencils might be common to the Hurricane or other RAF subjects. If so, might the Hobby Decal dry transfer sheets be worth looking over? Cheers, Ralph.
happy1 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Actully James yes you can mask stencils I do it all the time let me know what you need and I'll cut you a whole set marking codes insignias fin flash the works. Just need to know what type you need , the dia. of the roundels upper and lower wing & fuselodge, size of code letters and serial numbers. In any case it's an offer let me know. Paul
Administrators James H Posted January 17, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Paul, I have Mal from Miracle Masks producing the markings for me, but thank you very much for that offer. Perhaps one of other guys would like to try their hand though, and show what your masks can do?
happy1 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 No problem Jim glad to make the offer. that the whole purpose of this forum isn't it to help one another. Paul
MikeMaben Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Actully James yes you can mask stencils I do it all the time Paul I'd like to see this.
happy1 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Paint masks are stancils of a different type depends on what you think a stencil is. Paul If I could post a picture I'd show you.
Spitfire Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Hi James I have a set of PD Models 32-001 decals, Mosquito Bombers, they have some colourful schemes, I probably will never use them so if you want them let me know. Unfortunately no stencils but markings for the following: W4072 GB*D 105 Squadron May 1942 DZ464 XD*C 139 Squadron June 1942 DK333 HS*F 109 Squadron 1944 LR503 GB*F 105 Squadron 1945 DZ548 FB*D 105 Squadron June 1943 DZ319 HS*H 109 Squadron May 1944 Cheers Dennis

Sounds interesting! Cheers.
happy1 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Ok guy's I'm a bit confused here! what part of these aren't stencils????........DAMN bright light just flashed I think I know what they are and if they are what I think they are WELL I've got a ton of them. and you'er welcome to them. Paul PS Mike my applogies I can't cut anything that small maybe 1/24 1/18
MikeMaben Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Hahaa !! Paul, I thot (after posting) that we were talking about 2 different definitions of 'stencil'. I have a Silhouette Cameo and there's no way it can cut small enough to make stencils for stencils I wondered if you had some new technology that could cut that small ...I wish ! p.s. we're talking about making stencils (from cut paper/tape) for data stencils (like 'no step') on a/c .
happy1 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Mike I've got a Silhouette Portrait and with a new blade I can cut as small as 1mm on vinyl with a setting speed of 3 but it's a bitch trying to use any letter like ABDROPQ other then that it's not bad. Paul
